      DEEP SPACE NINE: "One Little... " - REV. 1/9/98 - ACT FIVE     56.

87   CONTINUED:

	Once O'Brien gets the filament in place, he TWISTS it, 
	and the filament LOCKS into place.

	He leans against the socket for a moment, panting and 
	sweating. More effects of hypoxia are starting to 
	manifest themselves -- short, rapid breathing, slightly 
	blue lips, dizziness and fatigue. O'Brien struggles to 
	stay conscious and he turns to see...

88   BASHIR (OPTICAL) 

	who's working across the way from O'Brien. Bashir is 
	struggling mightily to UNLOCK another filament. He can 
	barely speak.

					BASHIR 
			Stuck...

	O'Brien moves to help. With his added force they TWIST 
	the filament and it is released from the socket. Multi-
	colored light sprays from the ferruled ends of the 
	filaments.

					BASHIR 
			Which... one... ?

	O'Brien looks around at the empty sockets across from 
	them, trying to orient himself, but it's not easy. He 
	finally points to one.

					O'BRIEN 
			That... no.
				(points to another one) 
			That.

					BASHIR
			You... sure... ?

	O'Brien hesitates, then nods. They begin to drag the 
	filament, but it's like dragging a heavy firehouse in 
	their present condition. Finally they shove the 
	filament into the socket. They push it into place... 
	TWIST it, but instead of locking, the filament pops 
	back out again.
